Poor Harvey had the Customer From Hell yesterday....
The worst part about being in the service industries is you can't tell the customers what idiots they are to their faces--which is the nice thing about having a blog: you can vent.
Stupid people call us all day long.
Susie (answering the phone): Thank you for calling the Dollar Movies
Customer: Yeah, is this the Dollar Movies?
Reply Susie wrestled back but really really wanted to say: No, this is One Hour Martinizing--would you like to hear about our drycleaning specials?
Customer I listened to your recording and it says the only showtime for American Wedding is 9:30. Are you showing it any other times?
Reply Susie wrestled back but really really wanted to say: Yes, we do have other showtimes, but they're secret, so I can't tell you.
Anyway, this is to make Harvey feel better:
On Friday I went over to our bank to get the change order for the weekend. While I was waiting in line, I was witness to a little divine retribution. The teller at the drive-through was dealing patiently with an increasingly abusive man who could not understand why his expired driver's license was not a valid id for check-cashing purposes. The irate man finally drove off, and the next car up to the window held an off-duty police office...who had heard the entire confrontation and radioed in a report of a motorist driving on an expired license....
Sometimes stupid customers do get their just rewards....

The customer is ALWAYS wrong - especially after he's been drinking for several hours at Madfish Willie's. We just call the cops and throw their ass in jail. F.E.T.E.
P.S. That cop was an asshole too for calling that guy in.
P.S.S. If your DL expires, I guess you are not the same person anymore? Why not? Maybe Harvey can tell us what is the deal with that?

Bitch kept saying "It's an illegal document". Actually claimed that since the license to drive was expired, the picture wasn't me any more.
I kept telling her to call the police and have me arrested.
Great fun was had by all.

The Bartender: You are dumb. A$$holes deserve what they get.
